A new insurance policy offers owners and operators of charter aircraft protection from loss of income should mechanical issues cancel or terminate flights. Typically the charter customer gets all the sympathy when these events occur, as the broker and/or operator scramble to find a replacement aircraft. But if you’re the owner or operator of the grounded airplane, the cancelled flight could cost you thousands of dollars.

Big cabin, great short-runway performance and long legs. This has been the winning formula for Dassault’s Falcon 900 series for nearly 30 years through multiple upgraded iterations, the latest of which is the $43.3 million 900LX.

This October, 1,169 square miles of some of the world’s most spectacular rock formations, waterfalls and ancient trees will be celebrated as California’s Yosemite National Park turns 125.
Geologically, Yosemite is much older than that—by about 10 million years. Vertical uplift along the Sierra-Nevada created the mountains. Beginning a couple of million years ago, glaciers as deep as 4,000 feet began sculpting the canyons, and grinding and polishing the granite. Over these rocks spill thundering curtains of tall, narrow waterfalls, including 2,425-foot Yosemite Falls, the highest in North America.
